Week 4 Friday LEAP DAY Been home schooling a month :)

February 29, 2008

before breakfast My Trier watched this video and this video and learnt about slavery

as he did the breakfast dishes he again listened to he Ali Baba tape

Music and reading using this story The Tale of Tsar Saltan that can be found here I found some art work to illustrate the story. We read about Nikolai Rimsky Korsakov and then listened to The Flight of the Bumble Bee on UTube. Then we explored the fact that he used the voilin, the string family and flute to convey the tune and flight of the bumble bee. Then I allowed Billy to play around with the orchestra. We used this site to complete this last bit of the study.

My Trier was very interested this morning so I will copy this lesson plan again and study another composer again next week
